“Because I am not the only person who requires a broker-agent who will be thorough and who communicates knowledgeably and clearly, I am writing my first online review for real estate broker-agent Pat Kapowich. While getting a lead on a good restaurant might be nice, as a successor trustee, I found Pat's real estate acumen and experience invaluable. I am confident other sellers will also. He does not represent both parties in a transaction. So be assured that Pat is working for you.Pat started addressing the scarcity of time, money and space to prepare the house for sale before I even arrived in California. Scarcity of anything has been shown to lower IQ by 14 points. Not optimal in this trust sale situation.By coordinating with our local contact, Pat previewed the house immediately. He called to tailor his unique and successful action plan to my circumstances. Pat had communicated his method of marketing and showing the house so clearly, that when I hit the ground running in California, I knew that he had set up this aspect of the trust for success.When Pat saw I was overwhelmed by the clutter when I first saw the house, he immediately organized our little team to begin clearing clutter from the property, with the knowledge of city regulations and facilities.In addition to his real estate knowledge and professionalism, Pat understands the stress of the situation. He encourages rest and some time out to prevent burnout. He understands and addresses frustrations. Pat is a walking, talking sludge audit. He knows where the quicksand is and how to avoid it.When the time allotted for our stay fell short of what was required, Pat completed the house preparation in record time. He then executed his unique marketing plan utilizing his diverse background to cover all 360 degrees of a trust sale.The offers were presented remotely, on schedule. Most of the 25 offers were well over the recent time of death appraisal. Pat clearly explained the pros and cons of financing, closing days, contingencies, and dollar amounts. He addresses possible problems proactively. The result was acceptance of an offer and closing far exceeding what I anticipated for a house neglected for 60 years. Additionally, Pat's updates at each step made the short time before closing less stressful.Pat wisely introduced me to the title and escrow personnel at their office. When the time came to communicate remotely, they accommodated my being out of state without a problem.Now that the property has closed, I express my gratitude to Pat for walking me through each step and patiently explaining the logic of his method of creating a welcoming office in the garage with binders of inspections and an enlarged floor plan. Pat's strategy encouraged visitors to stay longer. It allowed him to help the buyers and their agents appreciate a diamond in the rough.This streamlined process was Pat's vision to maximize the closing price and net proceeds for the beneficiaries.This review will be helpful to those who are successor trustees, probate representatives, or those needing excellent assistance for real estate transactions. Pat's trust sale management was beyond all expectations.Regards,Karla HornSuccessor Trustee“

“KJ Home Builders is the best in the business! We had our initial consultation with Kevin and he treated us like family from the very beginning. He sat down with us and then we did a walk through together. He gathered information while we discussed what we wanted to do. He provided valuable information that helped us get a better understanding of the entire renovation process. He then scheduled a visit with Diego. Diego was great to work with as well. During the second visit, Kevin & Diego got measurements of everything and explained the next steps. As Kevin worked with his suppliers to design our home, Diego purchase all the preparatory material they needed. Before we knew it, the project was underway. This team is great at sticking to schedule and meeting deadlines. The entire team is made up of passionate hard workers. Gio, Rene, Cesar, Eric, Chris, George, Arturo, and the list goes on. They always showed up with a good attitude which is hard to come by these days. Needless to say, the projects were completed in a timely manner and we are now enjoying our freshly remodeled home. The guy is an expert. Definitely someone you want on your team. I recommend Kevin and his team to all my friends and family!“

During the tour, she painted a lovely picture of how we could function in the house and was straightforward in pointing out the pros and cons. Once we decided to make an offer, Erika met with us to review the disclosures in depth and went above and beyond to answer all our questions. Despite not being the highest bid, our offer was chosen, thanks to Erika's savvy negotiating skills, artful communication and professional demeanor. Erika's expertise, thoughtfulness and insight are unmatched. Her attentiveness to detail and personal approach helped us feel comfortable every step of the way. If we had to pick our favorite part of working with her, it'd be getting to know Erika with her fun, delightful and engaging personality. We landed our dream home, and in the process, we found a realtor for life!“

“Sunaina did an incredible job as our realtor! She walked us through every step of the way as we juggled selling our home in San Jose with a cross-country move. She had vendors lined up to work on the house as soon as we vacated it: stagers, electricians, painters, plumbers, you name it. Thanks to her organization and constant communication, we always felt like our home was in great hands even from a thousand miles away.She went the extra mile on several occasions, including coordinating with friends we still had in the area to give away items we left behind for donation and even staying late to diagnose an issue we had with our garage door. She also made arrangements for new light fixtures to brighten up the place at a reasonable price — this was one of several areas where we relied on her expertise and eye for interior design. Any time we had a question, whether it was about process and paperwork or if it was just to get a status update, she was always a text or phone call away.We really can’t recommend Sunaina highly enough! We had a tremendously positive experience with her and would happily recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a realtor.“

“Mary and her team were outstanding. Her service could not have been better. She organized a team to prepare the house in very short order. Her team of handy men, painters, gardeners, cleaners, flooring experts all worked quickly and efficiently to get the house ready for sale. She was very conscious of keeping the preparation budget as low as possible. She updated me frequently on progress. She brought the house from initial proposal to listing in minimum time. Her listing brought the correct buyers and the house was sold after the first open house. She's the best.“

But he always made himself available to address our concerns and proactively worked around our schedules when we needed to connect on an urgent topic.Rob also excelled in negotiation.

“In June my wife hired Bill Gorman and his real estate concierge team to sell her mom's home in Monte Sereno. While my wife and her siblings were concerned about the fast pace Bill was moving them, ultimately they realized that the timing could not have been better. The sale just barely preceded the market slowdown. Bill's assistant, Milena, was awesome as she arranged for repair and spruce-up work to be done. All of the work -- plumbing, painting, landscaping, lighting and staging -- was completed promptly, professionally and to my wife's satisfaction. Overall, we were pleased with Bill and his team's service and would highly recommend them. We are thankful that our local and exceptional agent (Fremont area), Joe Schembri, referred us to Bill.“

“Rick and Suzanne represented us to sell our Los Altos home and we couldn't have been happier with their service! We interviewed a number of realtors before deciding to work with Rick and Suzanne. They are locals with intimate knowledge of the area they serve and that fact "sold us"...no pun intended! Their guidance through every step of the process was well thought out, insightful and on point. Preparation of the house including inspections, repairs, updates and staging were arranged and managed by them. Rick proved extremely detail oriented, knowledgeable and prepared when it came to the sea of paperwork required to sell a home which was a big relief to my wife and I. The quality of advertising was world class including professional photography, drone footage and a virtual walk through. Our house looked amazing when it hit the market and sold above asking very quickly. Highly recommended! Cheers!“

“I want to take a moment to commend the work of our realtor, Cassie Maas.Last year, I found myself in need of selling my home in the Santa Cruz Mountains and relocating to Arizona. It was Cassie who took charge of the entire process of completing unfinished projects on my home and getting it ready to sell. She expertly organized the property clean-up, tirelessly hosted a series of successful open houses, and even kindly transported me to the airport upon my departure. Her commitment didn't cease there. When a series of atmospheric rivers loomed on the horizon, Cassie's foresight and diligence truly came to the foreground. She worked relentlessly, ensuring my home was sold before the inclement weather arrived, averting a potentially complex situation. The storms did wreak havoc after the sale, but Cassie proved herself more than a salesperson. She continued to provide invaluable assistance to the new homeowners, guiding them through the post-storm process. Her stellar efforts were recognized by the new owners, who hosted an appreciation event in her honor. I therefore wholeheartedly endorse Cassie for anyone seeking a realtor who embodies efficiency, foresight, and a remarkable ability to manage unexpected challenges. She has not merely impressed me; she has earned my highest esteem“
